Chapter 809: Chapter 809: Drawing Lots

The Heavenly Court at the center of the cruise ship is also the largest open-air area on the ship, the space of over ten thousand square meters has already been rearranged.

Competitors who advanced entered directly with the good cards distributed earlier, while those eliminated could only stand on the upper levels around the Heavenly Court to watch from afar.

Under the bright cruise lights illuminating like daytime, a beautiful woman dressed in an AJ uniform stepped onto the prepared ring.

"Wow, it’s actually Zhou Meiyu."

"Zhou Meiyu?"

"Bro, don’t you even know her? She’s the goddess of otakus, one of the four little actresses of Sea City, her purity carries a little sexiness, she’s simply every man’s favorite."

A whistle sounded around, and people began taking photos with their phones. Of course, the only regret was the cruise being out on the sea, so there was no internet connection.

"Good evening handsome guys and beautiful ladies, I’m Zhou Meiyu, the host of this National Martial Arts Tournament."

"First of all, congratulations to the handsome guys and beautiful ladies who advanced to the ring competition, I hope you continue to achieve great results in the upcoming matches."

"As for all the handsome guys and beautiful ladies present who were unfortunate not to advance, don’t be discouraged. There’s some good news for you, but I’ll tell you about that a bit later, okay?"

"Wow, her voice is sweet enough to kill."

"Hmm, Zhou Meiyu did debut as a singer, so of course, her voice is beautifully explosive, but is that the main point?"

"What do you think the good news could be? Could it be that we still have a chance?"

"It’s hard to say, but it could also be a consolation prize, who knows."

"Alright, let’s move on to the exciting part, which is the rules for the upcoming martial arts match. So everyone, perk up your ears and listen closely."

Zhou Meiyu spoke cheerfully, and the surrounding noise quieted down.

"After the first round of group elimination preliminaries, this round will enter the ring elimination stage."

"According to the schedule set by the organizing committee, the competitors who advanced will be divided into four groups and participate in group ring matches held at four different venues on the cruise. The ring matches will use a points elimination system, gaining one point for a win, no points for a draw, and losing one point for a loss."

"Every participant starts with three points, which is equivalent to your three lives. If your points run out and hit zero during the competition, you’re eliminated."

"The top eight competitors with the highest points in each group will advance and participate in the upcoming Top 32 finals."

"As for the competition schedule, each competitor must have three matches in their venue on the competition day. After three matches, they can refuse further battles."

"Within the scope of an individual’s three matches, they cannot refuse others’ challenges; they must accept. However, after one battle, they can have a three-hour protection period, which they can also choose to forfeit."

As Zhou Meiyu announced the competition rules, the discussions grew more frequent.

"Wow, using this method means you can challenge others one-on-one at will."

"Yeah, that’s what it seems like, and each person only has three points. Losing three in a row means you’re directly out."

"Haha, this is quite good."

Yue Lei turned his head to look at Li Feng standing not far away. Li Feng noticed this look and glanced back. Yue Lei smirked and raised a middle finger toward Li Feng.

You dare to mess with the Yue Family Martial Arts Hall, you’d better hope you don’t end up in the same group as me.

If not, haha.

"The competition schedule is really unique, making the upcoming matches interesting. The weak should get eliminated quickly, leaving no room for luck."

"Yeah, but those going up first might be at a disadvantage; their strength will be visible, making them easy targets in the future."

"The strong don’t fear being targeted. It’s the weaklings who worry."

"Detailed rules will be sent to everyone later, and you can read them at your leisure. Now I’ll announce the grouping stage."

"All the handsome guys and beautiful ladies who advanced should have received their exclusive numbers earlier. In this preliminary round, 256 people have advanced."

Wow.

Although people saw the number of contestants who advanced to the Heavenly Court below, no one had counted them carefully. Hearing the exact number, everyone gasped in disbelief.

More than three thousand people participated in the preliminaries, with an elimination rate of over ninety percent. It’s simply terrifying.

The ferocity of the previous preliminaries can be imagined.

As Zhou Meiyu spoke, a staff member pushed a transparent plastic box onto the ring. Inside the box were countless ping pong balls.

"Next, the participants who have advanced, please come to the stage in order from one to 256 to draw a small ball from the box. Each ball is sealed and contains a group number."

"The group drawn is your group—completely fair and just, open and honest."

"Okay, to save time, where’s number one? Please come to the stage, and then everyone line up according to your number."

Xiao Xi cleared her throat and stepped forward: "I’m number one."

"Wow, number one is a girl, and a long-legged one too."

As people around saw Xiao Xi take the stage, their eyes widened. Most didn’t know who advanced first because people usually leave the deck right after advancing.

As for those who were eliminated, they were picked up gradually after."

"Number one, Group A."

"Who’s number two?"

As Li Feng walked onto the ring, a slightly surprised voice came from the crowd below. It was the little apprentice sister from the Xingyi Sect.

Huang Shuyao watched Li Feng take the stage. He was number two. Although this number doesn’t represent strength, being at the front also signifies strength to a certain degree.

"Number two, Group A."

Li Feng looked at this ’A’, then raised his eyes to Xiao Xi, who had just stepped down. As expected, the other paused momentarily.

Is this a narrow escape from an enemy?

Subsequently, people went on stage in order, and the grouping proceeded quickly.

"Bring on another ’A’, bring on another ’A,’"

"Number seventy-eight, Group C."

Yue Lei looked a bit displeased at that ’C’, lifted his eyes to the audience below where Li Feng stood, ’lucky you.’

"Number eighty-one, Group A."

"Brother Lei, I’m in Group A."

"Alright, then I’ll leave teaching this bastard a lesson to you. How dare he make me a turtle in the sea."

"Brother Lei, leave it to me. I’ll let this kid know the strength of the Yue Family Martial Arts Hall."

The youth with a sharp mouth glanced coldly at Li Feng.

"Did you hear that, kid? Hope you still sleep well tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll break your legs so you remember the pain even in your dreams."

"Number one hundred ninety-eight in Group A."

"The senior brother is in Group A."

The little apprentice sister of the Xingyi Sect in line on the stage instinctively turned her head to look at Li Feng. This guy was truly unlucky to run into her senior brother.

Calling the second senior sister a two-faced green tea, her senior brother’s anger will burn him to ashes.

However, Huang Shuyao frowned slightly.
